It will be an uphill battle for the Dolphins to maintain their offseason excitement. They open with two straight road games, and three of four before returning home for a date with the Baltimore Ravens. It will be tough for the Dolphins to hit their Week 6 bye with a winning record.

thats why they didnt do us any favors. Throwing a bunch of veteran top level teams at us so early on when we probably won't gel for 5 or 6 weeks. Why couldnt they sprinkle in Buffalo and New York in the first 5 weeks.

This is a double digit , playoff bound & probably a super bowl bound team. We shall overcome any shady scheduling , any shady referee calls , or anything that the powers that be try to throw our way from starting this dynasty. Why does everybody hate us so much, we didnt take on the Kardashians as celebrity minority owners.OK , that was sarcasm ... but in the end it all evens out. We can beat any team in the league (and yes twice on Sunday when it counts).

It is what it is. They have to beat playoff teams if they want to be a playoff team. Cleveland, Indianapolis & Baltimore at home are very winnable games. Baltimore has been gutted, they are not the same team that won the Superbowl. The Falcons will be tough but its a home game. And the Saints on the road will a solid test. If they can make it through this part of the schedule 2-3 or 3-2 they will have been successful. They just have to play them one game at a time.

Honestly, I really like the schedule. It's a tough schedule and it will let us know right away where we stand in the AFC. If we can come out of the first 6 weeks above .500, then we should know what we have works and we can contend for a playoff spot and have the potential to beat anyone

If you want a winning team, you have to beat winning teams... Doesnt matter when, this is the NFL, its the responsibility of the coaching staff to have his team prepared. If bringing in all these new names was the plan, then they should be capable of executing that plan.

I dont accept strength of schedule excuses, all teams have the same opportunity.
